Are you ready to architect the infrastructure behind the next generation of global entertainment?

Drive the technical integration of a local animation studio into a global infrastructure. We are looking for a senior technical generalist with hands-on experience in both physical data centre operations and AWS cloud architecture. A background in broadcast, media, or high-performance computing is highly preferred.

What You Will Be Doing

• Data Centre Migrations: Lead the complex migration and consolidation of physical data centre assets (server mapping, physical rack consolidations, and enterprise storage cutovers) into modern, global environments.
• Hybrid Systems Architecture: Design, configure, and deploy robust server infrastructure across a highly mixed OS landscape (heavy Linux, Windows, macOS) and AWS cloud environments.
• Configuration Management: Maintain and extend infrastructure automation using Ansible, Salt, and Windows GPO.
• Operational Coverage: Provide hands-on day-to-day support, troubleshooting complex hardware and systems issues to ensure zero downtime in a live-production studio environment.
• Documentation: Build clear runbooks and migration plans so the team can seamlessly operate the systems post-integration.

The Engineering DNA We Need
We are looking for a deep technical generalist who operates with high accountability, takes smart risks, and thrives at the intersection of physical hardware and cloud infrastructure.

• Systems Fundamentals: Hands-on experience administering complex, 24/7 live-production systems (e.g., Broadcasting, Media, Animation, or High-Performance Computing). Deep expertise in Linux is absolutely essential.
• Data Centre Operations: Proven, hands-on experience executing physical data centre lifts-and-shifts, rack consolidations, hardware lifecycles, and bare-metal server provisioning.
• Cloud & Automation: Strong practical ability to automate infrastructure using Ansible or Salt, paired with commercial experience deploying into AWS.
• Systems Scripting: Strong practical ability to automate repetitive infrastructure tasks, server configurations, and migrations using Bash, PowerShell, or Python.
• Enterprise Storage (Bonus): Familiarity with NetApp or Isilon storage arrays is highly regarded.

(Note: A dedicated partner team manages core networking — you only need enough general networking knowledge to architect and debug your systems!)
